the drama addict...

code name: agent CID age: 14, 20, 40, 9, or maybe 200. depends on the way she dresses REAL age: ohhh...you should've said so earlier on. sorry, this is highly confidential and any leak of her personal information may cause serious detrimental damage About her(or him) she loves dramas. dramas, sleeping and eating are an important part of her daily life. when she's not on a mission, agent CID dresses in school uniform(or maybe..a nurse's uniform. very clever) she is part of the well-know four person team whose name cannot be mentioned here.she may come across as fat, wonky and alittle eccentric but BEWARE she is not at all what she seems.

tons of homework. nth to post anyway. here's what i wrote on romeo and juliet...

Infatuation or true love?

I believe what Romeo and Juliet experienced was infatuation instead of true love.

They were both young teenagers who craved for some love and passion in their lives.

Romeo fell for Juliet without knowing anything about her. He was just mesmerized by her looks and therefore, was attracted to her. The “love” that he had for Juliet may just be an attraction to her beauty and is filled with lust. The “love” they had for each other was superficial. Plus, both of them were at a tender age when they met each other, they were not matured enough to decide for themselves if the other party is their soul mate, the one that they are willing to stay committed to all their lives. Romeo went to the ball because he was in “love” with Rosaline but he immediately fell in love with another woman (Juliet) when he first saw her. It was then he decided for himself that this girl would be his love. How was Romeo able to forget Rosaline so quickly after he professed that he loved her so very much? I believe that it is blatant that the “love” between Romeo and Rosaline was purely infatuation. He was just infatuated with her that he went to the ball.

We can tell that it may be true that infatuation drives someone to do extreme things as Romeo was willing to take the risk to go on to his enemy’s ball because he wanted to see Rosaline, but when he sees Juliet, his love for Rosaline disappears almost instantly and the young man finds himself mesmerized with another girl. The reason why Romeo fell in love with Juliet may be that he finds Juliet more beautiful than Rosaline. Who would know if Romeo would still stay as faithful to Juliet if he spots someone more beautiful than her? Would what happened with Rosaline happen on Juliet? Some people might say that it should be true love because they were willing to leave their families and elope, they also died for each other but I beg to differ. I think that the couple killed themselves because they were depressed and not because they wouldn’t be able to live without each other.

Furthermore, it is arguable if the couple cared for each other. When Romeo went sneaking around to look at Juliet, he was not bothered if he was killed or not, he just wanted to satisfy his longings for her, not caring about what Juliet would feel if he died. Moreover, all these happened too quickly. They met, kissed, got to know each other, married, then died for each other all in about one week. It was all a “spur of the moment” kind of love. I believe that the couple did not get to know each other well enough to develop real feelings for each other. The “love” they shared was perhaps a stronger kind of infatuation and it might not last for very long if they managed to escape the clutches of death.

are you convinced? i dont think i sound very convincing. i can't even convince myself. i still think it may be possible that it's true love. but who knows? they're dead now. moreover, shakespeare didn't exactly have a very successful love life himself so maybe his opinion on love is screwed. therefore, romeo and juliet did not share true love. or maybe it was true love...? my point is

do you believe in happily ever afters?
